According to a former writer who was there backstage at MSG that night, the entire roster and crew were standing around Rock in awe while watching him cut an iconic 8 minutes promo LIVE on the spot. Definitely Top 5 since he came back. That was a special night in general, something I thought I would never see.

y It was incredible. Top 3 of his return work. The crowd rightly ate it up.

I loved his promo at Mania 27 purely because I was there for it and it was my first time seeing him live. It was corny and a bit goofy but holy shit did I and everybody else eat that shit right up and join in lol. WRESTLE..MANIA..WRESTLE..MANIA!!

That was the general consensus from what I've seen lol. Absolutely epic live for the crowd, but not that suited for a TV audience. I found it to be enjoyable enough when I saw it.

Thanks Punk

I call dibs on GTS, Pepsi Plunge and running knee in corner. I am sure Sheamus will take the rest.

Been to 25 through 28 and this years was definitely the best of the bunch. I couldn't have asked for 2 bigger matches heading in. To take part in and experience a live Rock promo at 27 was awesome too. That and HHH/Taker were the only 2 parts of that damn show (27) that made me feel like it was worth it to spend all that money lol.

I agree with the Survivor Series promo being one of if not the best promo from Rock since he returned. Just a good old school fun promo to hype up the crowd, no Phil or Dwayne or wrist notes or any of that bullshit we got during the RTWM

Oh my god newcastle people have such bad reputation in India . Vikram remembers when newcastle man ATTACK horse after game because he angry and drunk now I read daily mail today and see fight and violence in newcastle and one picture shows man wanting to fight horse. I don't know Newcastle apart from football team but they get reputation of animal attacker here

HHH/Taker is without a doubt the best live match experience I've ever had. Orton mentions it in one of the little video packages they did afterwards, about how the crowd was just that little bit different for the HIAC and he's spot on. From start to finish there was just a real and tangible buzz around the stadium. You could actually feel it. Don't get me wrong, Rock/Cena had a great atmosphere too and the finishing stretch was insanity (legit thought there was going to be a mass riot when Cena started the people's elbow lol) but the HIAC, I can't even describe it lol. You just had to be there.

As a live experience, Punk/Jericho pretty much sucked tbh because everybody was still recovering from the HIAC. That alone should tell you how draining HHH/Taker was. It took the entire HOF thing, the GM tag match and then practically all of Jericho/Punk for the fans to get their energy back lol. I had to watch the match over again because I honestly had no fucking clue what was even happening for the most part as I was still dead.

Rock/Cena as a live experience was unreal. As a match just watching back on DVD, it doesn't really capture the magic as much as being in the stadium did imo. The HIAC holds up just fine though and as a live experience, like I said, I've never been so on edge during a WWE event before. It was just crazy.
